ambassadorhorn Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 (edited) Awright, Sam.....what did you do?? Or was it Andy?? :P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, Andy J. was in the Rebels (Oshawa, ON) at the time, so he is blameless. I believe it was on 1980 tour in Illinois somewhere when our hornline took a "unit tick" in field Marching and Manuevering. It was deserved I am afraid. As a member of the horn line I take my part of the responsibility which if I do the math correctly was approximately .025 points. :P I can't find a listing of the show in corpsreps.com. It doesn't help that I don't remember where it was. Perhaps their database can't take a score that low.

JimF-LowBari Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Any idea how the corps staff works with Jester to deal with the low scores and bad response from some people in the stands? Wondering because we went thru the same things in 74 and 75. Thank goodness our corps Business Manager (some guy named Larry Hershman) kept it real by reminding us (constantly) that we were very inexperienced so we should not be as good as the more established corps (pause two seconds) YET!!!!!.... Another flashback from our "37 night". Larry Hershman telling someone: "Well the first half of the execution (tic) sheets looked OK, just kind of grey. Then the second half of the show went from grey to totally BLACK!!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bscontra Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Yes, they won with 10 horns in 1992 (they may have even won brass). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Blue Stars in 1993 won Div III with 13 horns and one was a plug in 1997 BLue stars also won Div II high Brass with only 25 horns and 68 members the Smallst Div 2 corps that year !!!

matye Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Lee and Renegades ... I really didn't want to open this thread ... enough griping already. But when I read your post, I was reminded that this drum corps family supports each other ... through thick and thin. Thank you. Classy!

bbass74 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Yes, they won with 10 horns in 1992 (they may have even won brass). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They did win high brass in finals that year. We (Suncoast) won high brass during prelims but came in 3rd on finals night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbass74 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 don't get me wrong, but if those kids are good enough, aren't they going to go and try out for some of the upper tier corps?~>conner <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not necessarily. I could have marched open class as I did in years past but in 92 I decided to march Suncoast when they came back out as a divIII because of several reasons but mainly because I wanted to be a part of something great and new. Just because someone is good doesn't mean the open class corps get them all. Of course a lower division corps has the non-experienced members more so than the open class but I've seen some of those members make more headway in their ability in just one season than I've seen a members of an open class corps in the same time. So there's something to be said about divII and III corps accomplishing great things both as a unit and for it's individual members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first ever performance in 1987 was with the Oshawa Rebels. We scored an 8.? Yes, an 8.? We had barely gotten thru our opener, didn't play the rest of the show, and did hardly any drill. With all our penalties and such, that was our score. We then rebounded to take 4th at A-60 finals that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
